I was told to beware of the carbs. Muscle milk has a lot of carbs and I was told to stay under 5.

You will be fine!!! I am officially 10 pounds down and started my pre-op liquid diet on the 8th of Feb. I will be 110% honest and say that the first three days were absolutely horrible and I was questioning if this was really going to be worth it. By day 5 I was completely fine and now I am even better and on day 8 and all I can think about is the fact that I only have 13 days left before my surgery date!!
What has helped me a ton, is staying busy and drinking Water (when it wasn't time for my Protein shakes, sugar free Jello, broth or sugar free popsicles) until my stomach hurt. I am talking sipping from the minute I wake up, to the minute I went to bed. Between sipping like crazy and bathroom visits eating has become a distant thought.
It isn't easy and takes A LOT of self control, but it is not impossible, and very much doable. Just keep your eye on the prize and keep moving forward. You got this!!

One more week girl! Very proud!! I "officially start my liquid diet on feb 28. Good luck to you. Btw im having gbp. You?

I can't wait to say that this is my biggest hurdle! Having mind control and not letting my stressful job get me down! I'm going to a support group tomorrow. I have a best friend who is also a rny success story. I need all the support I can get because this is so very hard! I will not be defeated! I'm needing support and prayers! I'm determined!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
